REFLECTIONS?

It’s been a really really tough week… probably the hardest so far.

We’ve had to deal with so many new possibilities, like Trav not being able to be at the birth, and dealing with feeling so sick on top of being 9 months pregnant.

It’s been such a shit one. The fevers have been quite worrying because of the baby, and I eventually got given an antibiotic and blood thinners.

But there’s nothing that we can do besides try to get better in time for the birth.

If I test positive, and still have symptoms, I’ll have to wear a mask around the baby.

If Trav tests positive he won’t be allowed in at the birth or the hospital which is so difficult to even contemplate.

We postponed the birth from the 21st to the 24th in the hopes that it gives us enough time to test negative and get lots better. We are praying and hoping for the best. We are manifesting our best outcome 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Please pray that we get to both be at the birth.

The silver lining is that the baby will get antibodies through my breast milk, and Trav and I will have antibodies too for the next few months. 🙏🏻

Hopefully we get better super soon.
